"The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2020 includes almost 1,400 universities across 92 countries, standing as the largest and most diverse university rankings ever to date.
The table is based on 13 carefully calibrated performance indicators that measure an institution’s performance across teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook." …
Interesting & illuminating rankings. Thank you for posting.
Interesting. University of Illinois and university of Arizona. Both great schools no doubt. But ranked higher than rice Vanderbilt tufts wake forest and countless others that wouldn’t be the normal CC recommendations.
What about Dartmouth’s and Brown’s rankings! Don’t they know these are THE IVYs! ? @privatebanker
Dartmouth too is surprisingly low at 94. Lower than many of the state flagships.
I’d like to see what the “data” really looks like that they are using.
Here’s the methodology - https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/world-university-rankings-2020-methodology
It’s not really helpful to those of us who were looking for good schools for our kids for undergrad. I think of it more as a grad school ranking, and a general one at that.
Also it seems if there’s no engineering you get knocked way down.
Many foreign cultures are known to give a fig about fit and atmospheric measures.
? @makemesmart Good point. How dare they.
Exactly. Their ranking favors large schools with high number of research papers and google citations by graduate, professional and doctorate candidates. Dartmouth, Rice, Amherst type schools are at disadvantage. These rankings are of little use to someone trying to pick an undergrad school.
THE also ranks US colleges with WSJ. Some argue, this is more relevant for someone trying to pick an undergrad school. For what it is worth, Rice and some Ivies mentioned upthread are ranked higher. However, no LAC is ranked among top 20. Like all rankings, take it with a grain of salt.
It’s a very accurate ranking. Michigan at 21. I am good with that ?.
Man, a year goes by fast. Thought this just came out… Lol…
For advanced students, graduate-level courses and professors’ research activities, etc. matter a great deal. Such factors should be considered for these students.
Lowest ranked US schools are Cal State-Long Beach & Texas State at 1001+.
Next lowest ranked US schools in the 801 to 1000 category are: UTEP, The New School, Marquette, Mississippi State & Florida Atlantic University.

Forgot #116 Vanderbilt University.
@Publisher UVA is not in the top 200?! Shocking
Missed the University of Virginia at #107.
Behind Arizona/Pitt/The Ohio?! Even more shocking. lol
But still ranked way higher than the University of Latvia.
Univ. of Edinburgh is at #30 while Univ. of St. Andrews is at #198.
CalTech jumped in ranking from 5th (or was it 6th) last year to 2nd this year to put a wedge between the Oxbridge. What happened at CalTech, did they admit lots of international students and hired a bunch of foreign staff? Or, did THE feel some facial heat for the Brit one two in world dominance?
